Description
Creates a slider menu item that is used in functions that create a menu, all menus except simple or 2D menus. Slider menu items bring up submenus when selected. They can contain text (t_menuItemText) or icon (l_menuIcon) information.
A slider menu entry is a composite object. You must create all its subobjects before making your slider menu entries. Call hiCreateMenuItem or hiCreateSliderMenuItem to create your pulldown menu items and then hiCreatePulldownMenu to generate your slider menu entry.
You can use slider menu items within a popup or pulldown menu. You can also share them by placing the same menu item within different menus.

?itemText t_menuItemText

String representing a text menu item.
To set the access key for the menu item, add an ampersand before the desired letter. For example, if the menu item is Replace and you want P to be its access key, you would specify this argument as "Re&place".

?subMenu r_pulldownMenu
